      Probably the best for retail but stay long enough and you'll begin to see its flaws.

      Pros

      Good pay depending on department. Break rooms were nice. Three dollar lunches, but in reality the food is mostly horrible. Some cool people work there. Tuition reimbursement for students - lots of red tape here and you're basically required to work every weekend. Paid vacation time.

      Cons

      Management is clueless as to what happens on the floor. All they see are the numbers. Hours are horrible and unfair, especially to younger employees. Expect to work an hour to an hour and a half after close every Friday, Saturday and Sunday of your life while the old people work mid-shifts and get weekends off frequently. The lifers are just weird. If you're a college student - don't get stuck here. I spent much of my college career at IKEA because they offered good pay and a tuition reimbursement, but looking back I wish I had reached out and found an intern.

      Pros

      Great coworkers, everyone was a team in the department, okay discount, clean environment, good parties and events, compensation was higher than most places doing the same type of work.

      Cons

      Upper management was incompetent, not understanding about life outside of work, a lot of people I worked with were in College, but scheduling was difficult to accommodate school. Other departments were hard to communicate with, not very helpful at all. Couldn't really speak to anyone in upper management about issues with other departments because they were all buddy buddy. No room for advancement unless your kissing someones butt well before the position is open.
